Little Restriction... Sometimes

I had Chicken drumstics for supper, I usually have 4 of them with the trimmings.  Tonight I had 1 1/2 legs, a small salad, spoonfull of  cranb. sauce and was stuffed.  SO I know I've got a little restriction.  I feel like it is actually Very True, that when I eat Protein first I fill up faster.  so at least it a start,  I deffinately need to take the first stuck feeling and STOP... My mind wants to keep going its so good.  What a pig I am,  just keep shoveling the food...

Protein first!  You're doing great!  AND...not a pig...by the way!!!!!!!  SHEESSHHH!!!!!!  You'll get to that sweet spot!  Hang in there!  honks! Ruth

Protein first and when you do that, you will hit that sweet spot quickly!! You def have a restriction if you can't eat what you used to.  Come on, POSITIVE!!! This is what you are looking for!! Head hunger is our biggest enemy, causes me to circle camp opening cupboards, looking for????I never know....
YOU RE NOT A PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R U kidding"  and by the way 27 pounds is huge, cause you are not putting it back on like you might have a summer ago.
You are doing great and are so necessary to the rest of us...your spirit and humor shine through the board and i for one, and I know I am not alone, love your posts!
Hang in there, my dear one, you are awesome!!
love and honks and hugs,
k

ohhh, you guys are so sweet.  Let me tell you something.  If it wasn't for you guys this spring and summer I probably would have quit.  This is alot harder then I thought.  But like you said, I didn't gain.  It is just so hard, again, compareing myself to everyone else. even the banders who are giving it 100 %.  I have been loosing and gainning the same lb. for 2 months.  I'm hopeing now i've got this little restr. i can get back into this thing mentally.  I just ate a left over chic. leg and one cheese stick and am stuffed again.  this is good... now to get my walk in before the rain strikes again.  I value each and every one of you, you are the most understanding and forgiving people I know. and thank you for not giving up on me.  I can't wait for the gathering.  Hugs, cheryl

p.s. I feel like a pig when I am full and I want to keep eating.  Just STOP for Goodness Sake....

G'morning 
I am so happy you didn't quit Cheryl !! 
I've only been here since June but have read a lot of posts, stories & blogs in the short time I've been here...You are amazing...I love your posts...the stories you tell...your sense of humor is so amazing !!  Your posts always bring a smile to my face   
Whether it's photos of your gorgeous flowers, or the new "things" you've done to your beautiful home...or the (hilarious) stories about your husband...( those I do enjoy by the way   )  You seem like a very wonderful person and I look forward to meeting you on the 23rd...as well as everyone else...
and as Kate said...a 27 lb. loss is huge...especially where you've been losing and not gaining !!    I get excited when I lose ONE lb. 'cause I figure one lb. lost is better than one gained !!

Just hang in there ~ you're gonna be fine !! 
You're too positive to be anything less !! 

Enjoy the day ~~
